AN ESSENTIAL GUIDE ON THE UTILIZATION OF THE GODAVARI WATERS AND RESOURCES

The RoFR act recognizes the dwelling site, religious places, burial grounds, village council sites along with places of MFP, water resources, biodiverisity etc and also PVT tenures. As the implementation boils down to title deeds for house sites and lands under cultivation, SAKTI engaged the Chenchu youth to document their traditional knowledge in their idiom and dialect, in encouraging them to assert as inborn foresters, capable of managing these resources as envisaged in the Act.

"Since SAKTI activities are mostly issue based and covering a large area, here we concentrate on the forest-related programmes of SAKTI for the present study."

KHAMMAM, Nov. 9:

CPI -M district secretary P. Somaiah here on Monday criticized Minister for Major and Medium Irrigation Minister Tummala Nagswara Rao for supporting non-tribal landlords in the land dispute between tribals and non-Tribals in Dammapet and Aswaraopet mandals.

Speaking to reporters here Somaiah said the State government failed to seize the land from non-Tribals by invoking provisions in Act 1/70. He also alleged that the government was trying to paint the issue as clashes between two groups of Tribals when the facts were otherwise.

In fact, it was the non-tribal landlords who attacked the Tribals in a planned manner and injured 200 of them.

The Tribals, who were injured in the attack should be paid compensation, he added. Demanding that cases be booked against those who attacked the Tribals, Somaiah sought speeding up of the survey of lands in the Agency areas in the district.

District party executive members S. Narasimha Rao and Vanam Narasimha Rao were also present.

Congress activists besieged the collectorate at Mahabubnagar on Monda in protest against price spiral and the 'bias' shown by the TD government in providing compensation to flood-hit farmers. For4mer ministers J. Chttarajan, Puli Verranna, former MLA Chinna Reddy and Reddy accused TD MLAs of providing compensation to only TD supporters.

Earlier, a public meeting was addressed by former minister Sankar Rao, former MLAs v Mohan Goud, Bishwa Kistaiah, D. Kiran Kumar and others.

The candidate has chosen a topical subject, very relevant to our thinking on culture, cognition and language. He has red widely and is familiar with the literature that matters. His linguistic and anthropological reasoning is sound. His language is clear and simple.

...evidence of the investigator's ability as a linguist by special training and as a linguistic anthropologist by self - cultivated interest.

The only information the government or media always compile carefully is on Naxalite encounters, never the violations of the instruments of rule of law such as minimum wages, fifth schedule, mismanagement of forests, equity in the distribution of welfare benefits, displacement, fragmentation of Socio-economic entities etc.
